- Salt to taste
- 3 cup Water
- 1 Bay Leaf small piece
- 1 Cloves
- 2 Cardamom
- 1 inch Wailong marati mogga, small piece
- 1 inch Cinnamon
- 1/2 inch Star Anise
- 1/2 tsp Caraway Seeds shahi jeera

Instructions
Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables
- Heat oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add bay leaf, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, and caraway seeds. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook the Sorghum Rava
- Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste. Gradually stir in the sorghum rava, ensuring no lumps form. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes.
Simmer and Finish
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the rava is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir gently halfway through to prevent sticking. Drizzle ghee over the top during the last few minutes of cooking.
Garnish and Serve
